Biblical Commentaries, Dictionaries, and Concordances

Items you can access digitally are linked here.  Those items that we have in print are primarily located in the "B" section directly behind this kiosk.  Several of these items, though, are located in the Reference Area downstairs.  If you'd like some assistance locating them be sure to ask a librarian for some help. 

Commentaries
Bible commentaries provide written interpretations of the Bible.  Most commentaries are organized based on the Bible's organization, so you can find commentaries on specific books, chapters, and verses.
